Fluorite, Pyrite, Sphalerite

Locality: Huanzala Mine, Huallanca District, Dos de Mayo Province, Huánuco Department, Peru

An EXCELLENT and AESTHETIC combination specimen from the famous, ONE-TIME find at the Huanzala Mine in 1980 of gemmy, water-clear, pastel-pink with green centers, octohedral fluorite crystals associated with lustrous, brass-yellow pyrite cubes and black sphalerite nicely perched on matrix. The front and back are viewable on this fine piece. All of the pyrite cubes are pristine and you hardly notice that the small fluorite cube on the upper right has a corner cleaved off. Fluorites from this find are some of the world"s most sought-after fluorites from any locality. Ex Richard Hauck Collection. 4.6 x 4.5 x 2.9 cm
